I think it might be more like your game is obscure rather than unloved. TBH though, games that exude creativity will always have an audience. It's not good to rely on external feedback to make decisions about your creative projects, just make whatever you want and if people like it they like it, if they don't they don't. There will always be someone who thinks its the best thing they've ever seen and someone who hates it more than anything else. These are the flax of lice and F em both. Just make your stuff. Let the Art-blobs in your brain and in your heart come to life, mai fren. It'll take some personal conviction/motivation to get it done probably but I think it's always worth the trouble. Just my unwarranted two cents. Best of luck, my dude. Hope you're doing well :)
for anyone trying to run it on linux with steam what you do is download and extract the files then go to steam and hit add a game then browse to where the executable is and add that then go to compatibility and run it with proton experimental (probably works on other versions of proton but I always default to experimental)
It could've been a false positive too. I did more research and redid the VT scan because I actually found another thing come up with the same exact IP addresses and it's an akamai address which is a CDN and might refer to a data center breach that happened and others say that address might be easy to abuse by hackers because its an akamai address but that doesn't necessarily mean that contacting it is GOING to get your computer sick.
and this is the one where I had mentioned github pages. It's also related to akamai and has potential for abuse if someone compromises that address and uses it in an attack but that's usually not a permanent thing anyways.
I would wager this was actually a false positive but I commend you for taking security seriously. I feel kinda bad that you took your neat little art program down because of what I had said. Looks like whatever was going on with that ip address, people in the malware security field know about it and are doing stuff so you might be good but of course exercise your own best judgement.
I think it says its contacting ip addresses that had ransomware hosted on them before but also hosted github pages? Saying it was an azure server that maybe someone had compromised. I'm not an expert on such things. But regardless, because of that, it flags your file.
My favorite part was the music. I won with 75 coins in the chest (probably could've had more if I didn't spend extra money on food and goblins at the beginning).
I think I downloaded the wrong version actually. I downloaded a new version and just let it do it's thing. It took a few minutes but It eventually booted up a windows 98 machine or something ;) 10-22 disregard. All is well in the universe.
honestly my favorite game on itchio. next to seaquest1992 this game is way more fun tho. like the latest editions altho it makes it way quicker to max everything out. Keep up the good work man. fun as hell.
